No, thats not accurate according to my sources. Look closely between the two at both the leading and trailing edge of the canopy relative to the wing. Stuff is different all over. I have scale drawings of both the F82/P82 and mustang, and took a bunch of pictures at the WPAFB museum too... its amazing how different the aircraft are. They are only superficially similar.
